I'm an 80's baby so most of my influences come from that era. Cats like Rakhim, Slick Rick, Big Daddy Kane, UTFO, THE FAT BOYS (yeah, I said the fat boys!), Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Heavy D, EPMD, Public Enemy, Special Ed, all that. You know, back when cats was about their lyrics and actually had something to say. In the 90's I was fuckin with Ice Cube, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Pac, Nore, Capone, Fabolous, Lox, Group Home, DMX, Snoop, Dre, Naughty, Lords of the Underground, Latifah, (Jersey Stand Up!!!), Tribe Called Quest, you know, cats that are still holding in down today.
